For House Republicans, new momentum on immigration reform
Wash Post ^ | 1/24/14 | David Nakamura

Recent signals from House Republican leaders that they will pursue their own vision of immigration reform have presented the White House with an opening to achieve a major legislative deal this year that has eluded lawmakers for decades.

Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) is expected to release a brief outline of immigration principles to his caucus as soon as its annual retreat next week. The goals would include strengthening border security and creating new visas for foreign workers, while providing a path toward legalizing the status of the nation’s 11 million to 12 million undocumented immigrants, according to people briefed on the deliberations.

It’s not bad enough that we have the Communist Wing (dnc) that is determined to water down ALL of our RIGHTS and LIBERTIES, now we have to deal with the ASSHATS that comprise the GOP Establishment Elites that are working with the Commies.

To HELL with the lot of them!

They ARE Enemies of The State and deserve to be treated accordingly.

Amnesty?

Count on the Stupid Party to enfranchise several million more Democratic voters.

If the GOP pushes through amnesty this year, I’m staying home in November.

There are at least 13 Reps from Texas that voted for the budget that need to be on this list including Brady, Carter, Hensarling, Conaway, Culberton, Farenthold, Flores, Granger, McCaul, Olson, Sessions, Smith and Thornberry. Sessions has a crackerjack running against him that I plan to support although I can’t vote for her. I will not be voting for Olson ever again.

Enough!!!!

"creating new visas for foreign workers"

Last week Intel and TI announced substantial downsizings, and these clowns are still pushing higher H1B quotas?

The GOP has a tin ear for politics. They're going to be perpetually losing elections for the foreseable future.
